- United States
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard has been ruled out for Sunday's road game against the Miami Dolphins, the team announced. Howard has been nursing a shoulder injury since rushing for 82 yards and a touchdown against his former team in the Eagles' 22-14 victory over the Chicago Bears on Nov. 3.
The 25-year-old leads the team in carries (119), rushing yards (525) and rushing touchdowns (six). Rookie Miles Sanders has shouldered the load in the two-game absence of Howard, totaling 23 carries for 101 yards.
Also on Saturday, the Eagles (5-6) promoted Josh Perkins from the practice squad with fellow tight end Zach Ertz nursing a hamstring injury. Ertz, who was limited in practice on Friday, is listed as questionable to face the Dolphins (2-9). Philadelphia also activated cornerback Cre' Von LeBlanc from injured reserve and waived defensive tackle, Albert Huggins.
LeBlanc sustained a foot injury on the first day of training camp in July. --Field Level Media
